Healthy Fitness Challenge: Week 5, Day 4
Inspiration/Motivation Tip: You already have everything in you to be successful, you just have to reach inside and pull it out.
Workout: Back, Bi’s, and Thighs (Interval or Circuit format to keep your heart rate elevated); Core; Stretch-it-Out
Exercise of The Day: Back Rows- This is a great exercise to tone your back, shoulders & arms.
Exercise Tip: If your goal is weight-loss then it is best to do your weight- training first followed by your cardio if you are doing both in the same session. During weight training you build up lactic acid which actually inhibits the fat burning process. In the first 10 minutes of your cardio you will burn off most of the lactic acid and increase the amount of fat burning.
